FAQs
What are the dimensions of the film roll?
Each roll measures 500 cm in length and 90 cm in width.
Can this film be applied to textured walls?
No, this self-adhesive film is best suited for smooth, non-porous surfaces. Application on textured walls may result in poor adhesion and an uneven finish.
How do I clean the gold film?
Clean the film by wiping it with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution, but avoid abrasive cleaners.
Will this film damage furniture when removed?
The film is designed for residue-free removal. However, on very delicate or old surfaces, it's always recommended to test on an inconspicuous area first or use a hairdryer on a low heat setting during removal to soften the adhesive.
Is this film suitable for outdoor use?
This product is intended for interior decoration only and is not designed for outdoor applications, as UV exposure and weather conditions can degrade the material and adhesive.
Can I reposition the film if I make a mistake during application?
Yes, you can carefully lift and reposition the film shortly after application if you notice an error, as long as the adhesive is not fully set and the film has not been excessively creased.
Does the gold color fade over time?
The high-gloss finish is designed to be durable for interior use. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight might cause some fading over an extended period.
Troubleshooting
Air bubbles or wrinkles appear during application.
Gently lift the affected section of the film and reapply, smoothing it out with a squeegee or cloth. For small bubbles, you may be able to pierce them with a fine needle and press the air out.
The film is not adhering well.
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned, dried, and smooth. If the surface is porous or textured, the film may not adhere properly. Try applying to a different, smoother surface.
Difficulty cutting the film cleanly.
Use a sharp craft knife or precision scissors and a ruler for straight cuts. Replace the blade if it becomes dull.
Residue is left behind after removal.
Gently rub the residue with a soft cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol or a mild adhesive remover. Test the remover on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface to be covered is clean, dry, smooth, and free from dust, grease, or other contaminants. For best adhesion, wipe down the surface with a mild cleaner and allow it to dry completely.
- Measure and Cut: Unroll the film and measure the required area, adding a small overlap (approx. 2-3 cm) for trimming. Use a sharp craft knife or scissors to cut the film.
- Apply the Film: Peel back a small section of the backing paper from one edge. Carefully align the film with the edge of the surface and begin to press it down, smoothing it as you go.
- Smooth Out Bubbles: Use a squeegee or a credit card wrapped in a soft cloth to gently smooth the film from the center outwards, pushing out any air bubbles.
- Trim Excess: Once the film is applied and smoothed, use a sharp craft knife to carefully trim away any excess material around the edges.
Compatibility:
- Best Surfaces: Smooth, non-porous, clean, and dry surfaces such as painted wood, laminate, metal, glass, and finished plastics.
- Not Recommended Surfaces: Textured walls, raw wood, porous materials, freshly painted surfaces (allow paint to cure for at least 3 weeks), or surfaces with uneven finishes.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface gently with a soft, damp cloth. Mild soap can be used if necessary, but avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads that could scratch the high-gloss finish.
- Maintenance: Periodically check for any lifting edges, especially in high-moisture areas, and reapply gentle pressure to re-adhere them.
- Removal: To remove, gently lift an edge and slowly peel the film off the surface at a low angle. If residue remains, it can typically be removed with a mild adhesive remover or rubbing alcohol.
